La pièce à main (200) est d'abord utilisée pour appliquer un colorant (209) sur une surface de traitement ciblée (210). Ensuite, elle est utilisée pour appliquer un faisceau laser à la surface de traitement colorée. Ceci est suivi par l'application d'un agent de rinçage (215) par la même pièce à main (200) pour éliminer les débris et les sous-produits de combustion. Les étapes sont ensuite répétées jusqu'à la fin de l'opération.
